Biglia also backed Andre Silva to emulate a Milan great after his strong start to life in Italy following his €38million move from Porto.

"Andre Silva can become a champion with the way he works and with his mentality. Let's just say he has the qualities to potentially become like [Marco] Van Basten," he said.

Biglia also insisted Montella has the full support of the squad, adding: "He's a great person and a great coach. You shouldn't believe that it's easy for a coach to put 11 new players together. We're all 100 per cent with him."
